GameTap works on Macs, but only Intel ones - and not for all titles. GameTap and Steam make the PC a gaming-on-demand service with hundreds of retro and current titles there for the taking.
Add to that the cost and difficulties Macs have in swapping out graphics cards, which is necessary if, perhaps, you actually wanted to keep playing modern games. Meanwhile, the Mac makes you feel like a Soviet searching the bread shelves for crumbs of entertainment that may be released on the whim of cruel developers. For PC owners, having a top-of-the-line computer means being able to buy an assortment of titles so large you'll never really have to pick up a videogame system. Macs have, for some reason, have never been very good to gamers - games on the Mac have largely been an afterthought while Microsoft is balls-deep in its Xbox experiment.
Because, for all the ads, all the self-celebratory Apple press conferences, all the sparkling-pretty Apple stores, there are still a lot of reasons why Macs still suck. That's not to say I'm drinking the Kool-Aid.
